Kevin,

I'm not sure I'm following. The normal ENTER key is the only key that will execute the line under the cursor. If you have multi line code such as:

a=5
b=a*25
print "the result is " & b

You can just type each line and press the normal enter and it works. But if you have something like:

a=0
for i=1 to 10
a=a+i
next
print "the result is " & a

Which adds the numbers from 1 to 10 you can't do this because the for and next can't be executed one line at a time. So in this case you could just put everything on one line such as:

a=0 : for i=1 to 10 : a=a+i : next : print "the result is " & a

This would execute the entire routine. You can define subs or functions with this as well. For example:

Sub PrintIt(a) : print a : End Sub

If you hit the normal Enter on the line above then you can just do:

PrintIt "this is a test"

and it will execute the sub.

Hi:
If, as suggest in this thread, that the numpad enter key could be used
to test a large block of code,  how do you then execute a multiline
block of code that you have just typed using the numpad enter key to
insert line breaks at the end of each line?

Hi, This is such a small problem I found, that I feel a bit foolish for
writing about it.

I don't know if this is just happening on my system or if this is a bug
with the App. So I thoug I would post it and let other people try it to
see.
If you type
Print 1+2
and hit enter you get three.
However if you type that same command and hit enter on the numpad, you
get nothing.
At least, I don't.
